There is no man in my heart

When Ji Que left the Demon-Conquering Tower, an important person from the Bai Mansion in the city returned.

The long corridor and the mismatched light and shadow outline a graceful figure.

Bai Lingshuang walked among them with an indifferent expression.

She has a pair of charming eyes like autumn water, but there is a coldness in her pupils, like ice that cannot be melted in winter.

As one of the top ten cultivation wizards on the Jade List, Bai Lingshuang is not high-profile, but he became famous early because of his appearance and talent.

Previously, "the eldest granddaughter of the former right minister of the Ministry of War", "the eldest daughter of the former governor of Lingyuan", and "one of the four beauties of the North" were her most well-known titles. Until the age of fifteen, she taught herself without a teacher at home.

By condensing energy with Qi, he became the fastest monk in the Northland to enter the Three Realms in a century.

So when people talked about her, they were no longer "the eldest granddaughter of the former right minister of the Ministry of War" or one of the five beauties in the North, but Bai Lingshuang.

Fifteen-year-old Bai Lingshuang.

After that, her name appeared on the Sapphire List.

In the following years, the three major holy places of cultivation in the capital, Baiya Mountain Monastery, Linglu Mountain, and Zhaixing Pavilion, all sent invitations to her, and many of them were big names in the clouds who were willing to teach her in person.

Wang Anzhi, the vice-president of Zhaixing Pavilion and known as the "Invincible in the Five Realms", was even willing to accept her as a closed disciple.

You must know that the last time Wang Anzhi accepted a disciple was twenty years ago.

Even more of the major northern sects near Shui Pavilion came to invite them in person.

But several years have passed, and Bai Lingshuang still has not made a choice.

She hasn't seen clearly the path she wants to take, so she has been practicing outside, trying to clear away the fog.

When Bai Lingshuang came to the side hall, two servants were coming out of it respectfully. After seeing her, their expressions couldn't help but become more humble, even a little scared.

Such a change made Bai Lingshuang raise her eyebrows slightly.

The servants in the Bai Mansion are far more afraid of Bai Lingshuang than Madam Bai, and even more than the master of the manor, Bai Tucheng.

In this world, most people regard accomplished monks as living gods, because they do possess magical means such as flying swords to kill people.

Not to mention a famous person like Bai Lingshuang.

The reason why Bai Lingshuang raised her eyebrows was because these two people were too afraid of her, as if they wanted to avoid her for something.

If she remembered correctly, these two people were both retainers of the house, who were specially responsible for gathering information and tracking.

At this time, Bai Lingshuang saw her mother and couldn't help but smile. The ice in her eyes became a little gentler as if they had been blown by the spring breeze.

"Lingshuang has met her mother."

Seeing that her eldest daughter was so charming, Mrs. Bai was in a good mood and said: "Lingshuang, they all say that going out to practice is the most difficult. Why do I feel that you have gained weight?"

As she spoke, she tilted her head, as if looking carefully, especially her chest and waist.

Bai Lingshuang was speechless for a while and said, "No way!"

At this time, my sister Bai Lu, who had no worries at all, ran over and said happily: "Sister, why did you come back early?"

Bai Lingshuang raised her eyebrows and said, "Why, you don't want me to come back?"

"Of course not! But I told my brother-in-law that day."

"Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough!" A series of violent coughs interrupted Bai Lu's words.

Finding that her mother was staring at her with a warning look, Bai Lu pretended not to understand anything and said, "Mom, what's wrong with your throat?"

"My throat is a little dry." Mrs. Bai said in a hoarse voice.

"Just drink some tea." Bai Lingshuang said, handing over a cup of tea.

Mrs. Bai took the tea cup and just took a sip when Bai Lingshuang said, "Xiao Lu, what did you just say about brother-in-law?"

With a pop, Madam Bai spurted out the tea and sprinkled it on the clothes on her chest.

Bai Lu quickly glanced at her mother and said, "Brother-in-law came to the house a few days ago. I told her that you won't come back until the fifteenth of next month."

As soon as she finished speaking, she had already run away, taking a few cakes on the table with her.

"You little bastard!" Mrs. Bai was so angry that her chest heaved violently.

However, after realizing that his eldest daughter was looking at him, his eyes flickered for a moment.

Bai Lingshuang said lightly: "He is here?"

"Yeah." Mrs. Bai said helplessly.

"I thought he didn't dare to come. What are you and dad going to do?" Bai Lingshuang sat down and said.

"What your father and I want is for him to go to the military headquarters for training first to see if he is a talent that can be made."

"What did that person say?"

"He doesn't want to." Mrs. Bai hesitated.

"Don't want to? Why, he really wants to marry me? Unfortunately, I don't really want to get married. Men are too boring for spiritual practice. A senior once said that if you don't have a man in your heart, you will draw your sword and be a god of nature. Although it is very one-sided, it is

It makes some sense." Bai Lingshuang narrowed her eyes slightly and said.

"no."

"Um?"

"He is, He is"

Bai Lingshuang said in confusion: "Mom, why do you become hesitant to speak?"

"He actually came to break off the engagement." Mrs. Bai finally said it.

Bai Lingshuang: "???"

Hearing this result, even though she had always been as calm as water, she felt a little surprised.

But she quickly thought of something and returned to normal, saying, "Then what does he want, money?"

Mrs. Bai looked strange and said, "He said he wanted to make pancakes."

A look of confusion appeared on Bai Lingshuang's face again, and she said, "Shaobing?"

"Well, he said that the Bai family would pay him back a hundred sesame cakes. This kind of kindness can be regarded as repayment." Mrs. Bai said a little absent-mindedly.

"baffling."

Bai Lingshuang's eyes flashed with anger.

She had never met the young man she was engaged to, and although she was confused about the engagement before, she didn't have much prejudice against him.

After all, the marriage contract was made by the elders, and the other party was an ordinary person from a small place. He could only go with the flow and nothing could be changed.

She could even imagine how timid and cautious the other party was towards the Bai family.

But when she heard it today, it was beyond her expectation.

She didn't like this feeling very much, and even thought that the other party might be a little bit sensational because of the false arrogance and low self-esteem that some scholars often have.

Bai Lingshuang didn't know that his sister Bai Lu had a completely different brain circuit for the same thing.

When Bai Lu heard the news, the first thought in her mind was what kind of fillings should be used for a hundred sesame cakes? You can't have only one kind of filling for a hundred sesame cakes, right?

"Mom, where is he?" Bai Lingshuang made her own judgment and asked.

Mrs. Bai said: "I lost it and haven't found it yet."

"Leave the rest to me." Bai Lingshuang said seriously.

"But." Mrs. Bai hesitated for a moment.

"You and Dad are good at everything, but it's easy to think too much and don't know the benefits of cutting through the mess with a quick knife. Don't worry, I will pay attention to propriety."

"Also, Xiaolu is really annoying. She has a brother-in-law every time, which makes her really want to be a sister-in-law. I will teach her a lesson for you."

With that said, Bai Lingshuang stood up to say goodbye. Mrs. Bai sat there, wanting to speak but stopping for a while, with complicated emotions.

My mother can't tell you that if she doesn't want to be this sister-in-law, she wants to take your place.

Mrs. Bai couldn't help but sigh.

This is really annoying.

What she and Ji Que said that day was not a joke. This daughter was too promising and independent, and her understanding of spiritual practice was very superficial, so she really couldn't control it.

At this time, Ji Que had just left the Demon-Conquering Tower and was standing at the street corner, thinking about life.

With Master Lingyu and brother and sister Chen Zhu away, his plans for Qiankun Roast Goose and part-time demon subduing can only be put on hold temporarily.

To become a demon conqueror, one must be recommended by a dedicated person, which is similar to the internal recommendation in the workplace in modern society.

The most urgent thing he needs to do now is to find a cheap place to live.

Food is the most important thing for people, so why should we lose our mouth and belly? Relatively speaking, it is bearable to live in a poor place.

As a result, after searching, he suddenly smelled the aroma of food, and then he discovered a night market street.

These days, Ji Que has been trying the famous dishes in Tianren City, but he has ignored the delicacies found in the streets and alleys.

After eating this, I found that not only it tasted good, but it was also very cheap.

He ate ten kinds of various kinds of food, and his head was so bloated that he felt dizzy, so he spent less than five qian.

Compared to a meal of king crab shells that only cost seven taels, rounding it off is like wasting money.

This is really a big dish. The famous dishes have their own style and taste, and the food in the streets and alleys also has a unique taste of the world.

At this time, a gust of cool wind blew, and Ji Que, whose head was so dizzy, woke up a lot.

He mistakenly entered a quiet alley. The moonlight was like frost, reflecting in the clear ditch on one side of the alley. Small vines climbed on the wall of the alley and swayed in the wind, and the air was filled with bursts of faint fragrance.

"The sparse shadows are slanting across the clear and shallow water, and the faint fragrance is floating in the moonlight at dusk."

Involuntarily, Ji Que thought of such a poem.

This is a famous saying about praising plum blossoms through the ages, but it is very appropriate to put it here.

He found that he really liked this city.
